What do I know about cybersafety? Have I presented material about cybersafety before? Do I understand what I have to do? Is there anything I don’t understand about this activity? What skills and knowledge will I be using?
Identify What is the task?
What do I want to accomplish in creating a poster? How do I want to interest others in my topic? Do I want to present an informative poster that can be used as a reference? Do I want to present a warning poster that alerts people to danger? Or some combination of those goals? What do I need in order to do this? What materials do I have? What resources do I need? Should I do more research on cybersafety? Who will be looking at this work? How can I appeal to other students? Are there examples of cybersafety posters or materials that I can look at? What are the obstacles? What problems may happen? Can I draw a diagram that will help me to visualise my work? Draw some rough ideas for posters.
Generate How many ideas can I think of?
List as many ideas as possible. What aspects of cybersafety interest me? What would I want to see on a poster? Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each idea. Are there any other subjects to consider? What resources (books, websites, etc.) have I been provided with? What do other people think about this? Do others think I have a good idea?
Decide Which is the best idea?
Which are the best ideas? Prioritise the 3-5 best ideas. Explain your reasons for choosing these. What are the arguments for and against each idea? Which idea is the best one for completing the task? Which idea is best for accomplishing my goal? What is my plan? What are the steps to follow? How will I keep track of my progress? What are my milestones? Possible list of steps: ·Research and gather material about my subject. ·Revise material and compose text for poster. ·Create graphics. ·Take pictures. Edit pictures. ·Assemble text and images into poster. ·Review poster and modify as needed.

Questions to consider
Implement Let’s do it!
Am I making progress through the plan? Am I doing this correctly? You may need to review your goal for this activity.
Do I need to revise my plan? As you continue, you may discover facts that require changing the plan.
Am I satisfied with the text/graphics/pictures that I have created?
Evaluate How well did I do?
Did I complete the task as originally set out? Did I solve the problem? Is the text as interesting or informative as intended? Are the graphics and images appealing? What have I done? What have I done really well? Is there anything that stands out as particularly good? Is there anything that needs improvement? Should I go back and redo anything? Am I ready to communicate my ideas or show/display my work to others? Is the poster ready to be shown to others?
Communicate Let’s tell someone!
(You may have answered some of these questions early on during the planning stages.) Who can I tell? Who is my audience? What is the best way to present this to my audience? How do I interest other students in my particular subject? Did I include the right text/graphics/images to inform and appeal to other students?
Learn from experience What have I learned?
If I had to start this activity all over again, how would I improve my performance? Would I change my work habits? Would I use a different subject or different design? Would I only make small changes? How have I improved since that last time I worked on a similar task? Have I learned anything about my subject or about appealing to others or about presenting information? Can I use that elsewhere? How has my thinking changed as a result of this work? What skills have I learned and developed? Can these skills be applied to other subjects/activities? What problems did I have to solve? Were there obstacles in developing ideas, researching material, or presenting the material? How were they overcome? How did I use the strengths of others to help me?
